It doesn't matter which user you normally use -- ext2 and ext3 filesystems
both reserve some space for the root user (5% of the capacity is the
default, if memory serves). You can adjust eliminate this by running (as
root)
tune2fs -m 0 {device}
...where {device} is the /dev entry for your partition, for example
/dev/hda1 (check your /etc/fstab if you don't know what it is).
